Google Nest / Home Mini Recessed Ceiling Mount

thingiverse

Hello everyone! I'm building a smart house and needed to mount my google nest mini speakers to a drywall ceiling. After looking around online, I couldn't find anything that would work for me. Some required screws too close for comfort to the hole on the drywall. Some would only work with google home mini and would have little tabs holding the thing in place. And all of them would leave the speaker hanging lower than the ceiling, which for me makes no sense. To address all these problems, I made this model, which requires: 2x M3 x 15mm screws + nuts (To secure the two parts that stay on the upper side of the ceiling)(preferably. You can use longer screws). 3x M3 x 6 - 25mm screws (To hold the speaker in place). Whatever kind of glue that holds on drywall (eg. hot glue) I still haven't printed the parts, as my 3D Printer decided this would be a good time to burn its hot end heating block. Every part listed on this post can be printed on a Prusa MK3S/+ (20cm x 25cm). With the default Prusa speed settings it takes: 1 - 3h30m to print the Google Nest Mount.STL 2 - 4h40m to print both Google Nest Nut and Nut_2.STL (This mount will be sturdier) 3 - 45m to print Google Nest Top.STL Installation: 0 - Make a 145mm hole on the drywall; 1 - Slide both Nut and Nut_2 over the drywall; 2 - Tighten them both together; 3 - Put a little dot of glue on each leg and hold it in place for a while; 4 - Wait for the glue to dry; 5 - Meanwhile, put the speaker on the mount, and secure it with the top part and 3 screws; 6 - Connect the charging cable; 7 - Screw both parts together. When I manage to print it, I'll post the pictures here! Hope you enjoy it.
